  WHO'S WHO

    Samantha Young

    Director

    Prior to moving from TX to LA in 2010, Samantha Young spent many years participating in theatre as an actor, director, and judge. Theatre was a big part of life from high school through college and in the first 7 years of Mrs. Young’s teaching career, so it felt like something was missing without it. With a little push from a colleague, she created Company OGP to bring the magic of theatre to Oak Grove. Young recruited the help of Talented Theatre Teacher, Amy Gomez, and together this is their 3rd production. In her spare time…what is that??
